The painting 'Boathouse, Lake Chiemsee' from 1994 depicts a lively harbor scene on Lake Chiemsee, Bavaria. Using a loose, textured application of paint, the artist conveys the immediacy of the lakeside setting and the changing light reflected on the water. At the center of the composition stands a boathouse set directly on the water, its warm yellow tones contrasting vividly with the cool blues and greens of the lake. Several sailboats are moored nearby, their slender masts rising vertically and creating a rhythmic structure within the scene. In the background, shoreline elements with trees and additional boats are loosely suggested. The fresh color palette and dynamic painterly style create a bright, summery atmosphere, combining clear figurative elements with a distinctly impressionist-influenced approach.The painting is signed and dated 'AM 94' in the lower left corner.

Alexander Michael (1939-2024) was a German landscape, still life and architectural painter. His paintings can be stylistically assigned to Impressionism or a late Impressionist style. His loose painting style, applied with a sure hand, creates a lively and atmospheric effect with visible brushstrokes and bright colors. The light conditions, color tones and the artist's subjective perception are characteristic of his works.
